Everything about NOZZLES with a different diameter

Learn more in the full article about nozzles with a different diameter:

The default nozzle diameter for most of today’s printers is 0.4 mm, and E3D’s hotends used in Original Prusa i3 MK3 and MK2/S printers are no different. Changing the nozzle takes just a few minutes and it can bring a number of benefits.

You can buy original E3D v6 nozzles in our e-shop:

Or you can buy nozzles directly from E3D:

How to change the nozzle:

Huh. A company who's own YT channel isnt trash, and is like, completely useful, and genuinely informational without feeling like a corporate powerpoint presentation?

Yes please!

Just installed a 0.6mm nozzle, and it is SO much faster than 0.4! Highly recommend trying it out.

The editing was amazing, the graphics were lovely, and the audio was mixed wonderfully with upbeat music and easily understood narration. Wonderful job!

Thanks for a very informative and helpful video. Just bought a 0.8mm nozzle from E3D and after a couple of experiments have printed a really large, strong box/tray out of generic PLA. Upped the temperature to 225c, used 0.5mm layer height with a 0.4mm first layer and 1.0mm line width. Slowed the general speeds down to 30 to 40mms with 20mms first layer. The result was really successful, very strong and ideal for the purpose without wasting hours on tiny layers for a big object. Very encouraged by this video - changing the nozzle was easy and I am now going to try some smaller nozzles.

wow, first time watching one of your vids. Extremely professional and clear - those graphics are so helpful in understanding what youre talking about. very impressed!

This was so ace; my nozzle jammed tonight and this convinced me to explore other sizes. Excellent presentation.

This video is still reference for explaining the different nozzle sizes ❤

The problem with using 1mm nozzles is that you have to also deal with heating. A hotend can only move heat to your filament so fast, so you often have to deal with that and lower the speed. I'm not sure how the MK3 handles that, but it seems like in the video it handled just fine. My robotics team has a massive 3d printer with an E3D volcano, and we usually have to slow down the print because the extruder can't move the filament fast enough, but that is a totally different reason.

Hello i'm french and i love your vidéo because you explain slowly and it's easy to understand thank you

I was blown away by the quality I got when I first used a 0.2 mm nozzle. And supports are super easy to remove too. But even with super small prints the print time is huge. Sometimes it's not worth it, depending on the situation.

Great video! I have been going to a .6mm nozzle lately and have been experimenting with .8mm and 1mm thick lines, this seems to increase layer bonding with the added pressure to make the lines wider, it has also impoved the surface quality of prints using CF-PA quite a bit. Forget about overhangs and bridging though.

As a mechanical engineer it took me waaayyyy too long to go up from the standard 0.4mm nozzle size. I have used a 0.8mm a bit, and I only want to go higher. For functional parts without tiny details, bigger, bigger and bigger still nozzles is the definite way to go.

The inclusion of the Charpy test in the intro alone is sub-worthy. Great video!

Could we also see the impact energy graph with the 1.0mm nozzle?

I don't have 3D Printer, but in 1-2 weeks i will receive my first 3D Printer. I don't know much about them but i like this video! You can't find a lot of videos that not only explain but even show what is the difference! This video explain and show all what you need to know! Keep making videos like this, they realy help more than you know!

[jasond.valentine]

thank you very much, as a printing newbie im on a binge watch of these informative videos. im absorbing information at a quick pace thank to people you sharing information and tests!.

6:20 if I ever had doubt in my mind that I love Prusa, it no longer exsits

Iv'e always thought .6mm was the best medium. You guys should make an upgrade (or a new feature on your next machine) Where the printer can change it's own nozzle. Would be great for clogs and jams during prints for the machine to fix itself and continue printing, but even better is that when combine with the MMU you basically get e3d's tool change machine but in a much cheaper package all the way around the board. Rather than buying 5 hot ends you buy 5 nozzles

This video game me confidence to try a differnet nozzle on my mk3. Love it!

This is a great video, very interesting and useful but also amazing cinematography and production value
